Safety, trust & environment

I know how hard it is to be to be away from your pets. I want you to know that if I have the privilege to care for your fur babies, I will treat them as if they were my own and will send you lots of photos to help put your mind at ease! I am meticulous about cleaning up after pets, will monitor their food intake and hydration, and will provide lots of opportunities for socialization, exercise, and play! I will also keep you posted on their daily health behaviors and will carefully follow any instructions you provide.

Information Ben P. would like to know about your pet

Questions: What can I do to best support you and your pet during your time apart from each other? What times would you prefer that I feed/walk your pet? Does your pet have any allergies or health issues that I should know about? What is your vet's contact information? What's your pet's favorite toy? Treat? Spot to get scritches?

A typical day

You know your pets better than anyone, and I'll listen to you about how I can make your pet feel as loved as possible, whether that's through leisurely walks, energetic play, feeding them treats, cuddling, or just spending quality time together! I can also water plants, feed sourdough starters, and will make sure to leave your house as clean as I found it!

Cat Dad to Tater and Tot

Pet care experience

I have years of experience taking care of my two feline sons Tater and Tot, as well as a variety of other cats, dogs, and even a few snakes, hamsters, and goats! I understand that pets are family and know it is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I show towards mine.

Ben was such an attentive cat sitter to my three boys while I was away. He cleaned up a few messes, picked up medication, and communicated so well. I came home to 3 happy boys with clean bowls, an empty trash, and no weird smells (the dream return home scenario!)

Ben was excellent! My sometimes shy gal warmed up to him super quick and he was amazing about communicating during the trip.

Ben is very loving with my cat. He sent 20+ pics every time he came to visit her. I trust Ben to be in my home and take good care of my cat and play with her and feed her. He plays with her a lot and makes sure she is stimulated, which is helpful when I am on vacation and she is alone for most of the day b

Ben was wonderful for Sabine and highly communicative. We could tell he truly cares about feline friends
